Lost Children of Antiquity are enemies that guard the walls of Cainhurst Castle in Bloodborne. Their ashen skin and perfect stillness recall a stone gargoyle. Sometimes they will swoop down from a tower, but most often they will be crouching on the walls, motionless, seeking to blend in with the snowy stonework of the castle. They have slashing and screeching attacks, but are also quite prone to collapsing if interrupted.

Strategy

Their defenses are lower when they are static

Approaching them without sound and surprising them with attacks is effective

If you distance yourself, they will perform a slashing scream attack with significant and deceptive range.

They more closely resemble strigoi than gargoyles.Anyway what everyone neglects to mention with farming Blood Stone Chunks at Cainhurst is that you need a high Discovery stat for them to drop. High arcane build and Willem's Eye rune does the trick.Tying drop rates to a stat that's pretty useless in battle was a bad design choice. Oh, well. Just farm the lecture theater for a while.
